viewers.

I think it's basically a fantasy for people wanting a "fresh start" in the world. The main protagonists weren't particularly successful prior to the zombie apocalypse, but now it's simpler to understand! Hit some slow zombies in the head, loot stores and kill some small game. Most of the people with fancy book learnin' were killed or turned into zombies! The biggest threats are the people outside your little group. They're "outsiders" and they're almost always dangerous!

Where is it most popular? Appalachia!

The most popular character? The one who looks like people they know.
